Anna Calvi - One Breath (CD)

One Breath is a bold and confident record that begins an exciting chapter in this uniquely talented artist's career. Produced by John Congleton (St. Vincent, the Walkmen, Clinic), One Breath was written in a year and recorded over a few intense weeks. The album is a more personal record than it's Mercury Prize nominated predecessor. Reflective and vulnerable, it strikes a balance between optimism and despair, beauty and ugliness. The fiery elements of Anna's debut remain, but One Breath is more instinctive and urgent, revealing a wider spectrum of textures and emotion.
